I don't know what I did otherwise, but after tinkering with the sound some more
and once again decreasing my mic volume to 45% or so, people say my mic is a
little low (naturally) but no longer sounds horrible or breaks their sound
in-game. The self-test sounds exactly the same no matter what recording volume
is apparently,  which is to say: scratchy and awful.. I'm guessing it does some
kind of gain control in the self-test that works differently than the actual
in-game chat for whatever reason. However, I had a friend send me a demo of
myself talking in game, and it sounded just fine there minus some minor buzz
which happens in windows too iirc (also after turning the recording volume and
other settings way down or off, as mentioned elsewhere on the net).

So.. consider my previous comments on this page void and probably unrelated to
wine, I suppose. Tf2 probably just does a lousy job of managing voice volumes
compared to any other recording programs used.
